A GeForce RTX 3050 mobile GPU could be next in line. While nothing of the such as been announced, it has seemingly made an appearance in a GPU-Z photo. Have a look…
If that’s the case, the the GPU-Z screenie offers up some revealing details. It shows the mystery part as having 2,048 CUDA cores and 4GB of GDDR6 memory (12Gbps), along with a 128-bit memory bus, allowing for 192GBos memory bandwidth.
The mystery GPU also appears to be part of a Dell laptop. The GPU clock fields show it boosting to 795MHz, which is either a lower clock for testing (an engineering sample) or an aggressive limitation for a Max-Q configuration. Given that the GeForce RTX 3060 in mobile form runs at 1,283MHz to 1,703MHz, it is reasonable to expect the GeForce RTX 3050 in mobile form will be clocked north of 1,000MHz. Or maybe 795MHz is the lower end, and for whatever reason, this Dell system is capping the GPU at what could end up being the official part’s base frequency.
Whatever the case might be, this is shaping up to be an interesting part for budget gaming laptops. Bearing in mind that 4K gaming is not the goal, the GeForce RTX 3050 as configured should deliver a decent performance punch above what any current integrated graphics solution can offer, with ray tracing to boot. We’ll have to wait and see how clock speeds actually shake out, though.
